A Christian Family Hour With PostFun
Are "family values" in line with the teachings of Christ? Let's see what Jesus has to say about the family:
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."Luke 14:26
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."Matthew 23:9
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household."Matthew 10:34-36
SPARE THE ROD...
"The rod stands as a neutral object between the parent and the child, whereas the hand is a direct part of the parent. With your hands you communicate love to your child through touch. When that hand turns against him, he becomes confused and tends to resist it. In fact, some parents actually end up "wrestling" with their own children while attempting to discipline them."
from HOW TO WIN THE WAR AGAINST THE FAMILY, by Dr. Ed Hindson of Falwell's LIBERTY PRESS.
Spanking News from the San Francisco Examiner...
On beating children in the good old days, "'We had tremendous results,' said Simonds, who now runs a Christian organization in Irvine called Citizens for Excellence in Education. 'The Bible says you spare the rod and spoil the child. That's hard for liberals to accept.'
"And so it is. On January 17, a vote to restore corporal punishment to California schools split along party lines in the Assembly Education Committee. The bill passed, 9 to 8, and is to be considered today by the full Assembly, which also has a Republican majority. "The bill should not be confused with a second Conroy bill to be considered today, which would allow graffiti vandals to be flogged in court with a paddle half an inch thick, 16 1/2 inches long and 3 7/8 inches wide." The bill failed to pass. Moderate Republicans felt it detracted from the seriousness of their image.
Right Wing Attacks on the American FamilyChalk up another victory for the American Family Law Center, run by Donald Wildmon and endorsed by James Dobson (from FOCUS ON THE FAMILY) and other pro-family forces. On February 3, 1996 a Florida judge awarded custody to the father of an eleven-year-girl. She had been living with her single, Lesbian mother. The judge wanted to give the daughter a chance to live in a "nonlesbian world." The father, who spent 8 years in prison for murdering his first wife (he shot her) should to be able to provide the child with a home life consistent with American, Christian values.

- "A 'Moral Start' means that children are taught the enduring values of honesty, hard work, discipline, respect for self and others, responsibility, and of that teaches us to help rather than to judge the weak, the poor, and each other, to love rather than to hate, and to respect every child as God's gift.
